Twenty-Seven: Fall 2004
You're sitting in the window with your bare legs hanging out, pink nail polish drying on your toenails.
Your sister's told you twice already not to let the boys in through the window or to spread your legs too wide and show what's nobody's business down to everyone below.
- Birgit Larsson, from "Red"
